Wheel of Time

How I found WoT

A friend of mine from high school introduced me to the books when I was in college. At the time, only nine or ten books had been released. Back then I really liked them, and was excited for new books to come out. The gender bickering did annoy me, though.

How I feel about the series

After a couple new books, I couldn't make myself reread so many books in order to remember the plot, and since a few years would pass between books, I started to get anxiety about reading the new ones. I did, though, usually within a few months of them being released.

By the time the last book came out, I was actually kind of drained and not super excited anymore. It was more of a "finally" reaction. I did enjoy all the later books, but I've never been able to make myself reread the whole series. I'm not really into the books anymore, but have been watching and enjoying the show.

These are a few of my favorite things

Uuuuuugh, I haven't read the books in 9-19 years! I have no idea what happened in what book. So instead I'll give you a list of things I liked about the story overall.

• Nynaeve after she did the spoilery thing in a later book, involving an army. That scene made me really like her.
  • You know the one.
• Mat after he had the dagger.
  • This event was in season one, so I'm not particularly worried about spoiling anyone.
• Aran'gar's spoilery situation.
  • Yes, Aran'gar is a villain, and that's not the only problematic aspect.
    • But such a situation being in a story at the time at all was not exactly common.
  • As a child, I was also excited about a certain boss from one of the Super Mario games for the same reason.
    • Despite them being a villain as well.
    • You do what you can with what you have.

And a few more of my least favorite things

See above.

• Nynaeve before she did the spoilery thing in a later book, involving an army.
• Anytime one gender complained about another, or about how they "just couldn't understand" them.
• Mat while he had the dagger.
• The way Tylin treated Mat.
  • And when people cosplay Mat and wear pink ribbons. Come on, y'all. No.
• Cadsuane. Period.
  • Not to be confused with Cad Bane, who is awesome.
  • They both have good taste in head adornments, though.
• The fact that they call it the Taint.
  • Say no more, say no more, know-what-I-mean, nudge nudge?
